Re: Class B North- Lawrence at Skowhegan

No. 2 Lawrence (6-3) at No. 1 Skowhegan (6-3), 7 p.m. Friday: Both these teams went off script from their regular-season norms last weekend, with defenses carrying the night as Skowhegan edged No. 5 Brewer 18-13 and Lawrence tipped No. 6 Brunswick 17-12. The regular-season meeting, which ultimately was the tiebreaker that gave Skowhegan home field for this rematch, represented a stark contrast offensively. Skowhegan junior quarterback Marcus Christopher passed for 330 yards and wideout Jon Bell scored five touchdowns while Lawrence running backs Isaiah Schooler and Tyler Larouche combined for 364 rushing yards.

“If our defense can put together a game like (the Brewer game) I feel really good about it,” said Skowhegan coach Ryan Libby, whose team did not yield a touchdown to the Witches after that game’s opening possession. “We’ve got to play better defense. We can’t rely on scoring 58 points.”

Skowhegan, Lawrence ready for rematch in Class B North football regional finalIndians edged Bulldogs 58-56 in last contest

...Skowhegan coach Ryan Libby said he doesn’t expect the cold and wind to hinder his team’s passing game. Junior quarterback Marcus Christopher has 36 touchdown passes to just four interceptions, and receivers Jon Bell, Cam Barnes and Sean Savage give the Indians a group of strong options through the air.
